    I would post a better video to the technique forum to go from there.

    Back to the original point though; your natural rebound is not 4" below parallel. You were just squatting wrong.
    You would probably benefit from a heel on your squat shoes.
    Thanks. I’ll go wide and see if I can squat without the pain in the hips I usually get. And I’ll keep the heels.

    I’ll post these on the technique forum, but I’ll pit them in here too for completeness:

    So I measured my usual squat width at 11 inches gap between the heels;

    On Set 1 I set the gap to 14 inches and at the bottom it felt like my hip joints were getting pulled out. YouTube

    Set 2 I set the gap to 13 inches. Felt good and I don’t think I could drop too low. But looking at set 1 and 2 I think I am still knee sliding with an upright back. YouTube

    Set 3 I again set the width at 13 inches and concentrated on hips back and leaning forward, but I get 3/4 down and my back angle changes to vertical again and hips come forward. YouTube

    All sets were 170 kg. Its 195 kg on Saturday.

    I also squat a little lower than just past parallel for a juicy rebound.
